term 4 week 3

This week I have learnt a word called onomatopoiea . It means a thing that makes a sound. for example my dog goes woof woof woof. we had Harold on Tuesday. He is a giraffe that talks to you about health. And we had an art show on Wednsday  every one had a piece of art in it.I felt splendid. I was very happy to have my mum and dad see my art work. They said it was excellent. I felt cheerful. On Thursday we did stuff on community groups. We had to choose what we need in life and what we want in life. We also had to think of some foundations.

Our Final Term

We have begun our final term for 2008.

This week saw the start of the swimming program and has seen us all settle quickly into some very exciting tasks. We have been brainstorming and analysing what makes a good friend to us. Maths has seen us begin to look at co-ordinates and directions and we will soon be playing battleships!

In science this term we are building structures to determine how they can be made more stable we will be starting with Straw towers... so far they are not very stable but we will see how we can strengthen them in the weeks to come. I am already hearing words like "stabilising straws and scaffolding". 

And finally we are having some fun with alliteration of sentences this week. "English is extremely exciting when executing exact examples".
